Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 10452

وَعَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْفَرَّاءِ مَوْلَى عَلِيٍّ قَالَ :
شَهِدْتُ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ عَلَى النَّهْرِ ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ قَتْلِهِمْ ، قَالَ : اطْلُبُوا الْمُخْدَجَ ، فَطَلَبُوهُ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوهُ ، وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُوضَعَ عَلَى كُلِّ قَتِيلٍ قَصَبَةٌ ، فَوَجَدُوهُ فِي وَهْدَةٍ فِي مُنْتَقَعِ مَاءٍ ، رَجُلٌ أَسْوَدُ مُنْتِنُ الرِّيحِ ، فِي مَوْضِعِ يَدِهِ كَهَيْئَةِ الثَّدْيِ عَلَيْهِ شَعَرَاتٌ . فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ : صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ، فَسَمِعَ أَحَدَ ابْنَيْهِ - إِمَّا الْحَسَنَ أَوِ الْحُسَيْنَ - يَقُولُ : الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَرَاحَ أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مِنْ هَذِهِ الْعِصَابَةِ ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ : لَوْ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِلَّا ثَلَاثَةٌ ، لَكَانَ أَحَدُهُمْ عَلَى رَأْيِ هَؤُلَاءِ ، إِنَّهُمْ لَفِي أَصْلَابِ الرِّجَالِ ، وَأَرْحَامِ النِّسَاءِ .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَفِيهِ جَمَاعَةٌ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُمْ .
Abu Ja'far al-Farra', the freed slave of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates: I was present with Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) at the river. When he had finished killing those people, he said: "Search for the man one of whose hands is deficient." The people searched for him but did not find him. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered that a reed be placed on every slain person, and then they found that man in a low-lying place near water. He was a black man with a foul smell, and in place of one of his hands was something like a breast with some hairs on it. When Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) looked at him, he said: "Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth." Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) heard one of his two sons, perhaps Sayyiduna Imam Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) or perhaps Sayyiduna Imam Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him), saying: "All praise belongs to Allah Almighty, who has relieved the Ummah of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) of this group." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "If only three people of the Ummah of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) remained, one of them would be upon the way of these people. They are still in the loins of men and the wombs of women."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains a group of narrators whom I do not know.
